The Extra tab lists various options you can set to
automate some features such as the context parameters use, in the Implicit Context Loading area. For more information, see How to use the features in the Extra tab.

How to automate the use of statistics & logs

If you have a great need of log, statistics and other measurement of your data
flows, you are facing the issue of having too many log-related components loading
your Job Designs. You can automate the use of tFlowMeterCatcher, tStatCatcher,
tLogCatcher component functionalities without
using the components in your Job via the Stats &
Logs tab.

For more information regarding the Log component, see Talend Components Reference Guide.

The Stats & Logs panel is located on the
Job tab underneath the design workspace and
prevents your Jobs Designs to be overloaded by components.

Note

This setting supersedes the log-related components with a general log
configuration.

To set the Stats & Logs properties:

Click the Job tab.

Select the Stats & Logs panel to
display the configuration view.

Set the relevant details depending on the output you prefer (console, file
or database).

Select the relevant Catch check box
according to your needs.

Note

You can save the settings into your Project Settings by clicking the button. This way, you can access such settings via
File > Edit project
settings > Job settings >
Stats & Logs or via the button on the toolbar.

When you use Stats & Logs functions in your
Job, you can apply them to all its subjobs.

To do so, click the Apply to subjobs button in
the Stats & Logs panel of the Job view and the selected stats & logs functions of
the main Job will be selected for all of its subjobs.

How to use the features in the Extra tab

The Extra tab offers some optional function
parameters.

Select the Multithread execution check
box to allow two Job executions to start at the same time.

Set the Implicit tContextLoad option
parameters to avoid using the tContextLoad
component on your Job and automate the use of context parameters.

Choose between File and Database as source of your context parameters and
set manually the file or database access.

When you fill in Implicit tContextLoad
manually, you can store these parameters in your project by clicking the
Save to project settings button, and
thus reuse these parameters for other components in different Jobs.

Select the Use Project Settings check box
to recuperate the context parameters you have already defined in the
Project Settings view.

The Implicit tContextLoad option becomes
available and all fields are filled in automatically.
